The Giants have been hinting that they aren't sold on Rueben Randle as their Hakeem Nicks replacement. Now it's confirmed. Beckham (5-foot-11, 198) reminded us of a bigger, faster Antonio Brown on college film. He's also drawn Greg Jennings comparisons. Displaying pro-ready route-running chops and separation skills, Beckham caught 143 passes in three seasons in Baton Rouge, gaining 2,340 yards (16.4 YPR) with 12 touchdowns. He added two punt-return scores. Confirming his explosive athleticism in Indy, Beckham ran 4.43 with a 38 1/2-inch vertical. NFL Films' Greg Cosell ranked Beckham as this year's No. 2 receiver prospect behind only Sammy Watkins. Beckham is a good bet to make noise in year one, both as an outside receiver and home-run threat on returns. Thu, May 8, 2014 09:31:00 PM

Draft Insider Tony Pauline believes that the 49ers plan to be "aggressive" to move up to land LSU WR Odell Beckham Jr.

"The San Francisco 49ers have let it be known they plan to be aggressive on draft day and use their arsenal of top 100 picks to move up. Sources tell me right now they believe the target is receiver Odell Beckham," Pauline wrote. While the price for Mike Evans may be too rich, ODB could be in reach with the number of picks that the 49ers possess. Pauline mentions that sources say "the Niners may not want to meet Michael Crabtree’s price tag in free agency next March," and signing Beckham Jr. would offer the 49ers with a back up plan.

ESPN's Rich Cimini reports that an NFL personnel director told him that, even though the Jets like LSU WR Odell Beckham Jr., he's not sure if they will trade into the top 10 for him.

"One personnel director told me Odell Beckham a better prospect than Evans. Jets really like OBJ, but not sure he'd be worth trade into top 10," Cimini tweeted. According to NFL.com's Ian Rapoport, it's been rumored that the Jets were "very hot" on Beckham Jr, but trading up in the top ten could be too much to give up, with such a deep wide receiver class full of talent. If Odell Beckham Jr. does drop in striking range, the Jets could potentially pull the trigger if he is first on their board. Wed, May 7, 2014 03:33:00 PM

NFL.com's Ian Rapoport reports that the Jets are looking to trade up for LSU WR Odell Beckham Jr.

"Mentioned earlier the Jets are looking to trade up. Their target is the Top 10, and I’m told they are very hot on LSU WR Odell Beckham," Rapoport tweeted. It's possible that ODB will be gone by the time the Jets choose at No.18, and moving up for the LSU prospect may be the only option. The 49ers and Jim Harbaugh have an open line to brother John Harbaugh and the Ravens, who hold the No.17 pick. It's also been rumored that the 49ers have heavy interest in ODB's services, and would be willing to trade up for him. With that being said, the Jets will have decisions to make come Thursday night, if they plan to select Beckham Jr. Tue, May 6, 2014 07:02:00 PM
